Added Analysis: 

Molina notes that this can refer to a staff of office or a rope. In the Florentine Codex (according to A. Wimmer 2004), tlilpitzahuac is found as a description for a skirt with vertical black stripes. The skirts in this digital collection do sometimes have vertical black stripes (see below).
